Our Last Gig.

So, as I posted last time, we played our very last gig at Vern’s on Tuesday.  There’s going to be video, and possibly also some photos.  I’m not entirely sure I am going to post any of it though.  In short, it was awful.  The sound guy showed up late making us all a little tense, once we were onstage we weren’t relaxed and having fun, and the more we screwed up the more confidence we lost.  It was probably among our worst sets.  And it was a Tuesday.  Some way to throw a farewell show, huh?  Oh yeah, we always do it with style.

Tonight’s the Night

The Regurgitones as we currently know them are ending. Mikey needs to take a break from being in 5 bands and as for me… well, no good excuses, just me needed to take a break from bass playing in general. My heart hasn’t been in it so much lately, so I’m trying to get that passion back. I want to be able to miss it for a while and maybe just putz around on my own for a bit. Despite that, though, I would be lying if I said I was excited that tonight is our last night as a band. We’ve had some amazing times playing together and I love my mates dearly. Good friends and musicians, they have always been inspiring to me musically, as well as personally, and I will definitely miss this.

Tent Revival Revival!

Tonight, we are playing a gig at the new Distillery downtown. Normally, we pick a theme and dress up as something whacky, but at jam this week we decided we were all po’ and strapped for time so we will be reusing a previous idea. Kind of fitting, really, for a band called the Regurgitones HAR HAR. We will once again be presenting the crowd with Professor Ted Haggrit in a good old fashioned tent revival. Check out a Willie Nelson cover we did at our last revival:

Hey, I never said we were any good, did I?

Oh, and also …

Johnny Incognito does not exist anymore. I am now part of the Regurgitones. Same drummer, same front man, same me, different guitarist.
